From Gettysburg to Guantanamo: 150 Years of the Lieber Code and the Law of Armed Conflict.

To commemorate the 150th Anniversary of the Lieber Code, the United States' codification of the laws of war, the Columbia Journal of Transnational Law, Columbia Law School Human Rights Institute, the Roger Hertog Program on Law and National Security, and the Lieber Society of the American Society of International Law will host a daylong conference. This event celebrates this anniversary with panel talks on the history of the Code, its influence on international humanitarian law, including The Hague and Geneva Conventions, and the application of the rules of international armed conflict to non-international situations.
